Predicting: monster book

If he's on the portal, you're dead.

I'm pretty sure BF is faster than mounts, and if you get KB'd by a jr wraith or a tree, there's a good chance you're pineappleed.

Teleport is a gamble made in hell. I wouldn't chance it, and i don't know many mages with the balls to do it either.

Recoil isn't the best avoiding tactic. It's probably the worst actually. You have to aggro it if you use it, and he'll just chase after you probably killing you if you get held up enough.

T.T

I made note of the "on the portal" thing. Nothing you can do about that, yeah, but it doesn't happen that often anyway.

You shouldn't ever have to run from Bigfoot for that long. Mounts help. If you're trying to race Bigfoot in the MS Grand Prix, yeah you're probably boned. And like randompeep mentioned, using Jr Wraiths/Tree is actually a good tactic to get past him if necessary.

I've done it with my I/L arch mage tons of times. Pfft, platypi. It also just helps for general "getting the hell away," like mounts.

Recoil could save your life if BF is chilling like inches from a portal and you have to get away quick.
